How much of the public treasury are Baltimore, Austin, New York, and San Francisco politicians willing to spend to help their friends in the abortion industry shut down pro-life competitors? This is a question taxpayers may want to ask in light of new information this week showing that the Montgomery County Council spent hundreds of […]

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!

The Supreme Court will sit for its first argument of the term this morning. I suppose given how few cases the high court accepts each year, they could all be considered important. But let’s not kid ourselves. So far, the high court has few cases on its docket that are likely to grab front page headlines—no […]

"I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed."

Via LifeSite’s Ben Johnson, who notes that this was high-five material last week for abortion warriors at HuffPo. If I hadn’t read his post before watching, the first two minutes here would have had me convinced this was a poem of regret. She starts by imagining the moments she would have shared with her daughter […]

In 2013, Planned Parenthood received $540.6 million dollars from various government sources to kill unborn children. Now, PBS is using your tax dollars to promote this evil practice. Tomorrow night, at 10 p.m. Eastern, PBS is showing “After Tiller,” a documentary that follows the lives of four late-term abortion doctors after their colleague George Tiller […]

Remember when Wendy Davis was going to be the point of the lance in turning Texas purple? Well, that’s over. It’s finished. Her Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, is beating her by double-digits. Moreover, most Texans have already made up their minds in this race (via Houston Chronicle): Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott over […]

Let’s just say that this isn’t going to make Burger King’s rainbow Whopper highlight reel in terms of public relations. A woman wearing her work uniform threatened, attacked, and berated pro-life demonstrators who didn’t appear to be anywhere near a BK outlet in Columbus, Ohio. She started off by loudly insisting that a baby at the 12-week […]

The first goal of every novice candidate is to make an impression on voters. Watch this spot from Monica Wehby, via the Examiner, and tell me how she did. She’s running uphill as a Republican in Oregon but she’s got a few things working for her. One: It’s hard to follow ye olde “war on […]

“I think the law will come down in between. I think the public is in the middle.”

Via MFP, an eyebrow-raiser from yesterday’s chat with David Axelrod(!) at the University of Chicago. David Corn and Mother Jones are out with another gotcha piece on Paul this morning citing his (mild) criticism of Reagan in the past for not cutting spending more as president, but this clip is more interesting, I think. Knocking […]

Shameless.

A great catch from our friend Jim Geraghty in a race we haven’t covered much — the reincarnation attempt of Charlie Crist in Florida. Back in the day, when Crist was Republican, he was the ne plus ultra Republican, including on abortion. Now a Democratic candidate for governor, suddenly he’s the consummate “war on wimmenses” […]

"[T]he life of the drug addicted teenager who has been arrested for the sixth time is just as precious as the lives of any one of my children."

I’m torn between thinking this is a remarkably deft answer, especially off the cuff, on a difficult subject and thinking he’s leaving himself too exposed to counterattacks from the left by pushing it. On the one hand, and ironically, it reminds me of something his nemesis Rand Paul would say insofar as it frames a […]

For the second time, producers of a planned pro-life film effort have had to switch from Kickstarter to IndieGoGo for their crowdfunding efforts. Filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McIlhenny took their Gosnell Movie project to IndieGoGo after Kickstarter insisted that they could shut down the effort at any time if they didn’t like the language used to […]

Sex sells, so the axiom instructs, and it’s at least true for page views of this travel agency’s latest PR effort. After hitting YouTube yesterday, the mildly-NSFW ad already has almost 400,000 page views, mostly due to the sultry sales pitch for planning a little procreation on Danish holiday travels. Noting the precarious decline of […]

This news hit yesterday, just before the start of CPAC 2014, but it seems to have attracted a little more attention today — perhaps in part because the CPAC conference has a controversy of its own over the pro-life issue. A new CNN poll shows a wide majority of Americans think abortion should be illegal […]

"We can agree to disagree, and everyone has a right to an opinion."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo already kinda’-sorta’ tried to walk back his rather indelicately phrased remarks about those “extreme” pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment conservative having “no place in the state of New York,” but apparently the attempt didn’t really resonate. He’s still getting some oh-so-stubbornly lingering flak for the episode, and he tried again at a […]

Game over.

Via Charles Cooke, who notes that between this and her newfound support for open carry, Davis would probably qualify as a tea-party candidate in a blue state like Connecticut. At the rate we’re going, she’s going to end up filibustering a pro-choice bill before November. Davis, a Fort Worth senator and the likely Democratic nominee […]

Back in black(list).

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo claims that his extemporaneous attack on supposedly “extreme” Republicans got “distorted” by the New York Post. Of course he respects the pro-life and gun-rights Republicans! They just “have no place in New York.” Oops — there I go, distorting Cuomo again by quoting him, emphasis mine: You’ve seen that play […]

“When the government draws distinctions based on viewpoint, it has gone too far.”

On Monday, the Supreme Court held hearings on an overreach of executive power in a fight between the branches of government over presidential appointments. Today they tackle a thornier issue between public safety, the First Amendment, and preferential treatment of speech. Massachusetts passed a law (as did several other states) requiring a buffer zone between […]

You see, she’s pro-life because she cares deeply about those humans who are spared in the womb. She cares so much that after she’s done fighting to increase the probability that every single one of them could die for no particular pressing reason up to and beyond 5 months in utero, she’s really excited about […]

How often do we see the entertainment culture take a stand against abortion — especially one as powerful as John Elefante’s “This Time”? The former lead singer of Kansas offers an incredibly personal missive based on the story of his own adopted daughter in order to bring attention to Online for Life, which works to […]

So, I guess that means that Ron Paul isn’t a ‘real’ libertarian either? Huh. Who knew? It’s fascinating to watch this. First of all, lesson number one, for Rand Paul, who is, by the way, not a libertarian. If you believe you ought to be able to tell women what to do with their reproductive […]

Jaime Herrera Beutler is a second-term Republican Congresswoman from Washington State, an acolyte and former aide of the state’s other prominent conservative women legislator, Cathy McMorris-Rodgers. She’s one of the younger faces on the Hill, and she and her husband welcomed their first child in July. And, what a story, culminating in the blessing of […]

Our intellectual betters and self-proclaimed civility police came to the Texas state house today ready to make their point, with poop: The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) today received information that individuals planned to use a variety of items or props to disrupt legislative proceedings at the Texas Capitol. Therefore for safety purposes, DPS […]

"Can you think of anything that kills the vibe faster than a woman fearing a back-alley abortion?"

I used to think killing healthy, viable babies in the womb was a moral abomination, until I realized that that position might take a few notches out of my bedpost. Now? Just hand me the scalpel. For those of us guys who like girls — you know, like them like them — and want to […]

Here’s the silver lining to comprehensive immigration reform, conservatives. Having spent loads of his right-wing political capital on pandering furiously to centrist Republicans and Latino voters with amnesty, Rubio will work overtime the next two years to earn some of it back by pandering furiously to you. We can’t be more than six months away, […]

For Democrats in Texas hoping to prevent an anti-abortion bill a second time from passing through the state legislature, time will be both an enemy and a friend. Republicans now have a second special legislative session devoted almost exclusively to passing a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks and impose regulations that would […]
